With technology add-ons for vehicles becoming more prevalent, it makes sense that these features would give us the best safety options available. This week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Ford execs like Bill Ford will make an argument for more connection between automobiles- which could help prevent crashes and eliminate traffic jams. Ford states, "If we do nothing, we face the prospect of 'global gridlock', a never-ending traffic jam that wastes time, energy and resources and even compromises the flow of commerce and healthcare."¹ As more people are driving in countries like China and India, the potential for gridlocks of this sort continues to grow.

Following an announcement by Ford that it will use recycled plastic bottles to create seat fabrics in the soon-to-come 2013 Ford Focus Electric, the company has announced it will further embrace green initiatives in the 2013 model Ford Escape. The new Escape will feature interior door bolsters made of kenaf plant fiber material.
